Men take center-stage in this comedy series about…. men.
Premise
A group of friends: Pedro, Luis, Raúl and Santi happen to feel a little lost in the new world of empowered women, each trying to adapt in their own haphazard way.
About the Series
In ten short episodes we follow a group of male friends – all middle aged, mid-upper class, señoritos – who have to deal with the difficult plight of being a man in the 21st Century. With humor the script includes a wide array of quotidian scenarios and events, supposedly exclusive to men, giving us situational comedy, plenty of couple trouble, identity crises, and friendship quirks.

Aloha, Spooky Nerds!
Every week it seems I read of more strange things afoot that are delightfully odd and potentially unexplained in nature. While Den of Geek wouldn’t presume to try and convince you to believe, or not, in unusual phenomena, we do enjoy exploring the topic so much we have the weekly paranormal pop culture Talking Strange podcast and video series hosted by yours truly
After all, mysterious encounters, peculiar sightings, bizarro experiences make for great stories and incredible debate fodder. How people talk about, and reflect upon, these tales — regardless of whether they consider them fact, fiction, lore, or legend — is what makes them worthy of media commentary as much as, if not more so, the potential veracity of the phenomena itself.
And there are so many strange things happening throughout the week that I will be collecting some of my favorite items from the entertainment of...
